this conclusion is not right - it says "one or MORE channels". If you
use the default way of creating the SocketChannelFactory, Netty
creates a reasonable amount of worker threads (i think it equals the
number of cores, but I may be wrong) that handle all incoming
connections - no matter if 1, 500 or more (500 are no problem at all).
